The Classic Voyage North is a journey of cultural exploration as you travel to the major coastal cities and remote communities, continuing north into the Arctic Circle. Explore the rugged coastline as you go face-to-face with natural wonders and experience thrilling excursions.

Winter is perhaps the most special time to explore the wild and untamed Norwegian scenery. The landscape is a magical winter wonderland covered in white snow, and perfect for action filled winter excursions like dog sledging, whale watching or snow mobiling. On deck the air is fresh and crisp. Clusters of cosy houses glow on the shores like embers. The stunning backdrop of snow-clad mountains reflect the polar twilight. Hopefully you will experiene the mesmerising Northern Lights.

To travel on a Hurtigruten ship is to be a part of a long tradition of connecting Norway's coastal towns and villages. Our ships are working vessels, carrying goods, vehicles and passengers, night and day. This service has been integral to Norwegian Life since our first voyage in 1893. Today our ships are as much a feature of the Norwegian landscape as the fjords and waters they navigate.

Each of our 12 ships that sail along the Norwegian coast vary in size and age. Each one has its own style and unique offerings. Despite their differences, they provide the same intimate travel experience and informal Hurtigruten atmosphere.

No matter what ship you choose to travel on, you will get the opportunity to connect with your inner explorer – that’s a promise. Furthermore, you will be doing so in the footsteps of the great explorers of the past. In 1911, Roald Amundsen sailed south with the original Fram and became the first person to reach the South Pole. After a dramatic race, he planted the Norwegian flag on the world’s southernmost point. Now it’s your turn!
